## Indications for Use

The XR-910 folds into a compact unit (20" W 54.5" L 21" H). The XR-910 is then easily transported by a van or similar vehicle, to a private residence, nursing home, medical clinic, and other such facilities. With the large 15" pneumatic wheels, and 20" wheelbase and a weight of only 78 lbs., the XR-910 can be easily maneuvered through doorways, hallways, and up and down flights of stairs. This can be accomplished by an average person. Due to the large vertical movement of the tubehead and boom arm, and rotational positions of the tubehead, radiographs may be taken with the patient standing, sitting or supine. Radiographs may be taken of the chest and extremities. The XR-910 is a 50 to 90 kVp, 10 mA unit. Using 800 speed film and screens, exposure times for most radiographs are less than 100 milliseconds.

## Device Story

The XR-910 is a portable, lightweight (78 lbs) mobile X-ray unit designed for transport to remote clinical settings or residences. It features a 20-inch wheelbase and 15-inch pneumatic wheels for maneuverability through doorways and stairs. The device operates on 120/220 VAC power, utilizing a logic-controlled inverter to generate 50-90 kVp at 10 mA. The system uses a 20 kHz oscillator to drive a high-voltage multiplier circuit, powering an X-ray tube. Exposure parameters are managed via a logic board with programmable timers (0.01 to 4.0 seconds). The operator positions the tubehead manually to capture radiographs on film. The device provides diagnostic images of chest and extremities, assisting clinicians in point-of-care diagnostics where traditional stationary X-ray equipment is inaccessible.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was evaluated by comparing radiographs of a step wedge and a phantom against the DynaRad predicate system. Results indicated the XR-910 produced images adequate for its intended use and comparable to the predicate.

## Technological Characteristics

Mobile X-ray unit; 50-90 kVp, 10 mA output. Power supply: full-wave bridge rectifier, 120/220 VAC input. Inverter: 20 kHz chopper circuit with high-voltage multiplier (up to 70 kVp). Timer: 1,000 kHz clock-based logic board. Dimensions: 20" W x 54.5" L x 21" H; weight 78 lbs. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: N/A.

## Regulatory Identification

A mobile x-ray system is a transportable device system intended to be used to generate and control x-ray for diagnostic procedures. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Substantial Equivalence Claim: The Imaging Sciences International Inc. XR-910 Mobile X-Ray unit is substantially equivalent to the DynaRad Corporation Phantom Portable X-Ray system.

Description Of The Device: The XR-910 Mobile X-Ray unit is a light weight (78 pounds), compact (20" W 54.5" L 21" H), X-Ray System. The system can be easily loaded into a van or similar vehicle for transporting to the site where the unit will be used.

Intended Use Of The Device: The XR-910 is easily transported by a van or similar vehicle, to a private residence, nursing home, medical clinic, and other such facilities. With the large 15" pneumatic wheels, and 20" wheelbase and a weight of only 78 lbs., the XR-910 can be easily maneuvered through doorways, hallways, and up and down flights of stairs. This can be accomplished by an average person. Due to the large vertical movement of the tubehead and boom arm, and rotational positions of the tubehead, radiographs mav be taken with the patient standing, sitting or supine. Radiographs may be taken of the chest and extremities. The XR-910 is a 50 to 90 kVp, 10 mA unit. Using 800 speed film and screens, exposure times for most radiographs are less than 100 milliseconds.

Technological Characteristics Of The Device: The XR-910 technology is based on the Keystone X-Ray Intrex VSK, 510 (k) Number K931486.

The basic power supply consists of a full wave bridge rectifier, so connected that it may be operated on either 120 VAC or 220 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power lines. This accomplished by changing jumpers in the power supply.

At the output of the bridge rectifier, two very high capacity 250V filter capacitors smooth the rectified power, which is then presented to a voltage requlator, consisting of five transistors, amplifiers and a reference diode. This requlator requlates the voltage applied to a four diode transistor inverter chopper.

Another low voltage power supply, with its step down transformer, bridge rectifier, and associated filters, supply power to another requlator and a logic board, so connected as to control the technique factors and the "on - off" exposure of the X-Ray System.

{2}------------------------------------------------

The inverter is supplied by a 20 KHz signal that is developed on the logic board. This 20KHz alternately turns on and off the inverter to chop the DC power that has been generated in the power supply.

The 20KHz square wave is now transformed into 200 volt positive and negative pulses, this signal is then sent to the tubehead. In the tubehead the signal is supplied to a power output transformer, which raises the 200 volts to 6,000 volts. This 6,000 volts is now applied to a plus and minus multiplier PC boards. With its associated diodes and capacitors, the multiplier boards raise the 6,000 volt square wave to plus 35,000 and minus 35,000 volts. An X-Ray tube is placed between the two multiplier board outputs creating a potential across the X-Ray of 70,000 volts. The 20 KHz, 200 volt square wave may be adjusted upward and downward to create a kVp range from 50 kVp to 90 kVp in 1 kVp increments.

The filament of the X-Ray tube is also heated by the 20 KHz signal taken directly from the oscillator on the logic board. A rheostat is placed in series with the filament transformer, so it may be shunted out for fast heating of the filament, and switched back in during the exposure.

A voltage divider in the multiplier circuit of the tubehead allows the monitoring of the kVp. A current sample obtained from the primary of the power transformer allows the mA to be proportionately monitored within a 10% accuracy.

Two timers are included on the Timer PC board. One of the timers delays the exposure turn on until the filament has reached sufficient operating temperature. The second timer times the length of the desired exposure. The exposure time is can be programmed from 0.01 to 4.0 seconds in increments of 0.01 seconds. The clock for these timers operates at 1,000 KHz, and is divided down on the logic PC board:

In operation when, the exposure switch push button is depressed, the delay timer starts counting down a preprogrammed time that allows the filament to heat up to its proper temperature. When the delay timer has timed out the countdown of the exposure timer starts. At the end of the exposure, the exposure timer signals the inverter logic to cease operation, thereby shutting down both the high voltage anode and filament supplies, terminating the exposure.

{3}------------------------------------------------

Assessment of Non-Clinical Performance: During the evaluation process, the XR-910 Mobile X-Ray System was transported throughout various parts of our building. With the large 15" pneumatic wheels, a narrow 20" wheelbase and a weight of only 78 lbs., the unit was maneuvered through doorways, across concrete floors, carpeted floors and up and down stairways with relative ease.

During the evaluation, the 90 kVp Constant Potential and 10 mA of the XR-910 produced radiographs of a step wedge and a phantom that were comparable with the DynaRad unit, and adequate for their intended use.

Conclusions of Non-Clinical Performance: The performance of the XR-910 during the non-clinical evaluation would indicate that the system is substantially equivalent mechanically, electrically and radiographically to the DynaRad Phantom Portable X-Ray system.
